"Catskill Native Nursery specializes in nursery-propagated North American perennials, fruits, shrubs and trees. Come and browse - you might be surprised at the unique beauty and garden worthiness of our native flora. If you would simply like to learn more about gardening with native plants, feel free just to visit the display gardens around the 150 year old farm house where we are located in semi-rural upstate New York. Most are a mix of native and non-native plants. We also have a native-only dry shade garden, the beginnings of a prairie between the zig-zag fence and Samsonville Road, a native-only butterfly garden, and a native fruit orchard featuring Pawpaws, a Meader Persimmon, Blueberries, Dwarf Lingonberry, Serviceberries, and an Illinois Everbearing Mulberry. In Spring of â€˜05 we hope to begin work on a garden modeled after a Catskill rocky summit plant community with scrub oak, lowbush blueberry, sweet fern, common juniper, bearberry, three-toothed cinquefoil, Pennsylvania sedge and others."

"Cummins Nursery is a small, family-run fruit tree nursery located in the beautiful Finger Lakes district of western New York. From Ashmead's Kernel to Zabergau; From the newest of the new to the oldest of the old; Dwarf to full sized; We either have it or we will do our best to graft it for you."

Der RosenmeisterAntique and Modern Roses - Ithaca, NY "We are a specialty nursery dedicated to providing the best cold-hardy, disease-resistant roses for zones 4 and 5 and all the information needed to grow them. We approach life, gardening, and roses with passion, and enjoy sharing this passion with fellow gardeners. Our love of all aspects of growing roses is what started us in business and keeps our business expanding each year."

We have 100% NY native plants. We carry herbaceous perennials, grasses, ferns, groundcovers, and shrubs. We specialize in plants native to New York State and the Adirondack Park that can be used for stream and lakeshore buffers as well as rain gardens. And of course our plants can also be used for regular landscaping purposes as well!

"Hawthorn Hill Farm is located five miles from the upstate New York village of Cooperstown. We were bitten by the daylily bug about four years ago and now have an exponentially increasing collection that will most likely hit three hundred by the end of the summer. Our aim is not to have the largest collection in the world. Rather, it is to grow and offer plants that we like at an affordable price, primarily to our friends and neighbors locally. We are particularly interested in daylily history and are making a concerted effort to collect species, their variants, and as many of the earliest cultivars as possible. Otherwise, we let our taste dictate what we add to the collection. In addition to daylilies, we grow lots of perennials, have started an heirloom apple tree collection, and are happily saddled with an ever-increasing array of hardy climbing roses. Our large organic vegetable garden sits in the middle of the garden and more often than not visitors walk away with some free produce packed in with their daylilies. Benches and chairs are randomly littered about the place so that people can either rest in the shade while we are digging up their plants or just sit and enjoy the place. When we are both retired , we will line the paths in the woods beyond the upper meadow with wildflowers and ferns native to the northeast. We are a completely organic operation, a choice rooted in a philosophical way of looking at the world and our relationship with it. "

I started Stony Hill Farm Greenhouses in 1994 because I couldn't find the weird, rare plants I'd become addicted to. When I could locate ones I didn't have, no one had a clue what they were, or how to care for them. I offer a wide variety of Splendid Plants with distinctive Foliage, Texture, Variegation, Scent & Flower Power.
I delight in Designing Landscapes that are magical, mysterious & colorful low-care. I then ‘paint with plants’ to create a "Custom Fit." Maintenance of gardens is also available.
My plants are tested for hardiness, ease of care & their potential as critter-candy in my extensive zone 4b Display Gardens. Folks can stroll through the mature trees, shrubs & perennials & get inspired by the Innovative Combinations. You can envision specific plants or combos that’ll perk up your private garden. It's good to know before you install a plant that instead of getting a 1' high bush that blooms all summer {tag information}, it actually gets 3' high, doesn't bloom at all, & eats it's neighbors…
Our Primary Concern is to provide you with healthy, Extra-ordinary Plants. I’m committed to sound environmental practices, & strive to stay as pesticide-free as possible.
Stony Hill started out as a way for an avid plant collector to support her habit, & has evolved into another child. I don’t aspire to be a ’Big Business’ - it’s important to me to personally ensure outstanding creativity & quality. Come see us!

"Youâ€™ll love our 11 scenic acres with nursery grounds, display gardens, woods, ponds, wetlands, and our unique koi urn--just a few minutes from Ithaca in the picturesque Finger Lakes Region. We also encourage you to think about where you buy your plants, and how and where they are grown. The Plantsmen is a nursery in the old-fashioned sense. We raise plants here. Plants you buy from us have been in the nursery, under our care, for months and in some cases over a year. We're growing more shrubs, small trees, ferns, perennials, grasses and the greatest selection of native plants in Central NY. You'll continue to find plants you wonâ€™t see elsewhere, including annuals and tropicals (bananas), but with a greater overall emphasis on hardiness to USDA Zone 5 and colder." Featured in Horticulture's "On the Road" column in the October 2006 issue (Northeast edition).
